Sabra / Extensive Modernization of M60A3 for Turkish Army

This project exists thanks to donations. Support him! Patreon: Donation: NFT: The Sabra main battle tank is an extensive upgrade of the M60A3. This upgrade was developed in Israel to extend service life of the ageing M60 series tanks and making them more capable. Upgraded tanks have increased lethality, protection and mobility. These main battle tanks are currently in service only with Turkey. A contract to upgrade 170 Turkish Army M60 main battle tanks to the Sabra Mk.2 standard was awarded to Israel Military Industries (IMI) in 2002. The first prototype was delivered for trials and evaluation in 2005. It entered service with the Turkish Army and is locally known as the M60T. A total of 170 Turkish Army tanks were upgraded. These tanks made their first combat debut in 2016 during a Turkish military operation in Syria against Kurdish fighters. Vehi
